Brigitte Bardot found out about the Russian entrepreneurs who made a donkey parasail over a beach, forcing beach goers that included children to hear the animal screaming in terror. Makes you wonder who was really the ass in that situation.

Pretty easy to guess she’s not too happy about the fact the two will not face animal cruelty or any other charges. That’s why she wrote to Russian prosecutor Yury Chaika, asking the Russian official to reconsider legal action against the donkey’s owner.

“The donkey was strapped to a parachute and for more than half an hour was sailing in the air, screaming from horror and causing shock amongst children and adults on the beach.”

French animal rights activist and former actress and sex icon Brigitte Bardot has partnered with the leather goods company Lancel.

A vegetarian and leather company? No, this isn’t an oxymoron. Bardot is the inspiration behind the new eco-friendly bag, which currently can only be seen in sketches, as it’s just in the very earliest stages of development.

Since 1876 the company has been making handbags of the animal hide type, so this should come as refreshment and sign of yet another business recognizing the market for green and cruelty-free.

Still, some are already arguing it’s risky business, especially for Bardot’s reputation as Lancel’s main product is still leather.

Brigitte Bardot Calls Dutch Goat, Sheep Cull Scandalous

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 in Animal Issues.

Bridgitte Bardot Travels to Romania to Save Street Dogs

Animal activist Brigitte Bardot recently wrote to Agriculture Minister Gerda Verburg, condemning the Dutch goat and sheep cull that started last week and is expected to continue over the next month.

Bardot said the cull is a, “scandalously disproportionate slaughter which is deeply shocking because of its systematic character.”

Some 40,000 pregnant goat and sheep are expected to be killed.

The animals spread Q fever bacteria when they miscarriage and authorities estimate 2,300 people have become infected with Coxiella burnetii this year, while six people died from the infection.

Bardot states that Q fever in humans can be treated with antibiotics.

Q fever is no ordinary cold–it can give those infected with two weeks of shiver, headaches and a slow pulse rate.

Vaccinating animals can prevent Q fever.

Should the Dutch government have invested in an ounce of prevention versus using this cull as a cure?

Brigitte Bardot On Idiot Fur Wearing Women

Bridgitte Bardot Travels to Romania to Save Street Dogs

Animal activist and vegetarian Brigitte Bardot has never been hesitant to express her opinions about the fur industry.

And during a recent interview when she was asked what she thought about women who wore fur, Bardot responded, “The women who carry fur these days are idiots. Wild animals are bred in small cages where they go crazy because they cannot lead any kind of natural lives. They are imprisoned in concentrated breeding farms. Minks are gassed, foxes are electrocuted… this complete industry is cruel, barbaric and absolutely useless.”

Point taken.

If you’re the compassionate and intelligent type, you’re obviously anti real fur and would probably love to know what stores and companies sell the real deal.

When making your next fashion decisions, refer to the Humane Society of the United State’s list of fur free designers and retailers.

Abercrombie & Fitch, for example, stated in an email in 2007 that all of its furs were fake.

And Ed Hardy even went so far as to state, “As someone who cares about animals, I am deeply offended by and opposed to the inherent cruelty of animal fur.”

So guess that means Jon Gosselin‘s favorite clothing line is safe.

Take a look at the list, carry it in your pocket when making your business decisions and never worry about Brigitte calling you an idiot.
